EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured circa 1916, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling border town of San Ysidro, located in San Diego, California, USA. The image showcases the San Diego & Arizona Railroad station, with a train arriving or departing, marking an important transportation hub between the United States and Mexico. The customs buildings nearby are a testament to the international significance of this location. In the background, the Tijuana horseracing track can be seen, adding an element of excitement and entertainment to the scene. Horse racing was a popular pastime in the region, attracting spectators from both sides of the border. The Monte Carlo Club, another prominent feature in the photograph, was a social club and dance hall that catered to the diverse community of San Ysidro. The San Diego & Arizona Railroad played a crucial role in connecting the region to the rest of the country, facilitating trade and travel between the US and Mexico. The railroad's arrival in San Ysidro had a significant impact on the town's growth and development. The border between the US and Mexico is visible in the distance, with Mexico's Tijuana just a short walk away. The close proximity of the two countries is evident in this photograph, showcasing the rich cultural exchange that took place between them during this era. This photograph is a fascinating snapshot of life in San Ysidro during the 1910s, offering a unique perspective on the history of this border town and its connections to both the US and Mexico.
